NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
RE:
Index Methodology Change
Invesco FTSE
Emerging Markets High Dividend Low Volatility UCITS
ETF, (the "Fund")
Share Class: Dist
ISIN: IE00BYYXBF44
Dear Shareholder,
We are writing to you as a Shareholder in the
Fund, a sub-fund of Invesco Markets III plc (the "Company"), to inform you of the
following changes to the methodology of Index tracked by the Fund,
FTSE Emerging Markets High Dividend Low Volatility Index ("the
Index").
Proposed
Changes
The Index provider is proposing to revise the
Index methodology to improve the liquidity of the Index. The
periodic review of constituents will, from the effective date,
include an assessment of the liquidity of each constituent by
calculating its recent 3-month Average Daily Trading Value
("ADTV"). Securities with an ADTV less than $5 million ($3.75
million for current index constituents) will not be eligible for
inclusion in the Index.
The Weighting Methodology will include a
partial review adjustment factor, calculated by referencing the 150
selections of each current and previous index review. Further
details of this change can be found on the Index's provider
website:
Index Announcements - Index Announcements
(ftserussell.com)
The impact on these changes on the Fund is not
expected to be material when compared to previous annual Index
reviews.
Effective
Date
The changes will take effect on the
18th of March 2024, at the next rebalance date of the
Index. The Fund's offering documents will be amended in due course
to reflect the Changes.
Should you wish to redeem your shareholding as
a result of the Changes, you may do so in accordance with the
dealing provisions outlined in the Prospectus.
